Sophie's First day of her second year of Pre-school.

and then, her first school bus ride ever.





We had the great pleasure of attending the Oak Grove Butterfly Festival. They set free thousands of viceroy and monarch butterflies.

They had tons of activities, entertainment and displays. kids loved it








A Butterfly landed on Sophie's flower dress.

As the Indian Legend Goes;

If anyone desires a wish to come true they must first
capture a butterfly and whisper that wish to it.

Since a butterfly can make no sound, the butterfly can not reveal
the wish to anyone but the Great Spirit who hears and sees all.

In gratitude for giving the beautiful butterfly its freedom,
the Great Spirit always grants the wish.

So, according to legend, by making a wish and giving the butterfly its freedom,
the wish will be taken to the heavens and be granted.

Today we have gathered to grant this couple all our best wishes and are about to set these
butterflies free in the trust all these wishes will be granted.
